Man - Revelation (1969 Wales) | Psychedelic Rock | Vinyl Stream

Revelation is the debut album from Man, released January 1969 on Pye Records. Welsh band, South Wales - a long way from the London underground and further still from San Francisco, but the psychedelic influence got there anyway. This was a loose concept piece tracing the journey of mankind, which sounds heavy-handed but doesn't play that way. The music moves between fuzz guitar, heavy organ, and layered sound effects - rougher and less structured than the prog records that came a couple years later, more like a band figuring out what they wanted to be in real time. The garage-pop roots are still audible underneath it all, which is part of what makes this one interesting to dig into. Man kept going and got heavier and more improvisational as the 70s wore on. This is where they started. "Erotica" is the track that still gets mentioned whenever this record comes up - genuinely provocative for 1969 and worth hearing in context.
